Could this be the greatest news for Earth and mankind 2023 beyond?

A scientific assessment of ozone depletion 2022 conducted by international organizations and government agencies says the ozone is healing.  The document's executive summary identifies the highlights including -Major achievement of the Montreal Protocol, -Current scientific and policy changes, -Future policy considerations.

In spite of the many security development, IPv4 still have flaws

Not fine, solved, okay but the correct term, maybe, on IP version 4 security is, mitigated. Isn't it safer to say that way?

While working on our presentation slides to be delivered next week to one of the computing organization's cyber security event in the country, I connected my computer to the Internet to look for claims, that IP cannot provide 100% guaranteed security, at least for now, it may also be forever, particularly on matters that concerns politics -maybe the toughest concern ever, maybe national infrastructure too, high-profile individual and organizations and more.

They developed the Internet Protocol version 4 without considering security in the design [and the myth that the Internet protocols were designed for warfare environments, CPNI, 2008].

According to the report, in page 5, "As a result, any system built in the future according to the TCP/IP specifications might reincarnate security flaws that have already hit our communication systems in the past. Producing a secure TCP/IP implementation nowadays is a very difficult task partly because of no single document that can serve as a security roadmap for the protocols."

The document, Security Assessment of the Internet Protocol version 4, can be downloaded from CPNI Website which is also seconded by an Internet-Draft from the IETF Website, still fresh and submitted just a week ago.

iPhone 6s devices, longest to receive operating system updates

The recent release of iOS 15.5 to iPhone 6s is not a surprise to owners as they may have known it from last year when it was announced that iOS 15 will still be available for these devices. Indeed, the longest software update , according to The Verge, for a smartphone. If you are one of those who still hold dear such device, kept and taken care of with the same shiny look when it was bought, not a mat and scratch allowed on the surface, you would know that there had been one single major issue as you are about to run the update. Not enough storage.  In order to get past storage limit, you'd delete apps and data until it already has the minimum space to continue the update. A factory reset is inevitable to others, due to the fact that even after deleting all data including big multimedia files, it is still deficient of storage space.  Don't forget to backup your most treasured data though, before deleting all content or resetting the entire system, to other devices such as your

[TW] IT documents, audit and leaders

IT documents comes with different names such as the following: - Manual or handbook, - Policies and procedures, - Management systems, - Project plans. In the real world we have various names with unique descriptions and purposes when in fact they could be made to do a uniform direction for which actions are based for the entire IT initiatives, probably the longest in IT lifecycle is operation. The problem is our inclination on something else which is wrong. IT remains an IT area. Business remains a business area. The same problem is carried out when we conduct IT audit. Most audit are missing the gists in which IT is being used by businesses. We once said that an effective IT audit is conducted by IT people themselves but there is something wrong with that even. Business and accounting people have been doing it with a different bias and preconceived notions which doesn't make the cut for IT direction and audit respectively. Leaders play the same game and so the problem continues an
